Some healthy tips for blood pressure management

If you are currently being treated for high blood pressure, please discuss this with your health care provider before making any changes, thanks.

Do a brisk walk each morning, including weekends before breakfast

Do other exercise like swimming, tennis and yoga as well as the walks

Do one very long walk up to three hours once a week, like a trail hike, taking in only water for sustenance (You might need to gradually build up to this one)

Take one Chrometate tablet with breakfast and another with dinner

Coenzyme Q-10

Have one dessert spoon of flaxseed oil with breakfast, lunch and dinner. You could add a few fish oil with vitamin E capsules as well as a beneficial extra.

Take all of the above for a period of three months and do not miss a day. Top up your supplies well before you run out of any.
Monitor blood pressure first thing in the mornings and later in the day at the same time daily.

Diet

Reduce or eliminate all refined flours and grains. Replace with wholemeal grains and oatmeal and give preference for starches like Kumara and other root crops.

Wayne,Blood pressure, along with heart rate, can rise within seconds of a change of one's mental state. I run workshops on BP and hook the attendees up to BP machines. Just thinking about something, like a horrible boss, a cell phone going off, or an upcoming race can set BP and HR off. These are healthy responses but can become unhealthy if such responses are frequent with no significant physical action or if chronic, such as constant worry with much procrastination thrown in. Some people have excessive responses to a given stimuli and this can grind them down over time.People can learn via relaxation and feedback (Using a HR and BP monitor) to moderate these responses.
